Hello,
My name is Kevin Kramer and I am the owner of Catastrophe Career Specialties LLC (a storm claims training company located in Houston Tx) . I am posting this information today in response to several questions that are asked of me quite frequently with the sincerest hopes that it will help all of those waiting for their first or next storm claims assignment.
A Little Bit About Me: Eleven years experience as a catastrophe claims adjuster w/ State Farm Ins Companies (5 yrs staff & 6 yrs Independent). During that time I have worked in 21 states on 56 initial cat coded assignments and will be the first to admit that I a still have a great deal to learn about the industry. I am a staunch opponent to politically correct Prozac speak, especially when it comes to decisions as important as starting / investing in a new career. Everyone who is considering entering the storm claims arena in entitled to hear the realities of what this industry has to offer. I believe that a person’s true success story can be found on top of the spot where their talents and passions intersect for this is the very place where all others cannot compete.
